I don’t know who the artist is (if you do, please say so). This sketch appeared in James E. Talmage’s 1912 The House of the Lord and was used occasionally in 20th century Church magazines.

I don’t think this is a sketch. I have seen it in online libraries, I believe this is an early photo of the small scale sculpture created by Cyrus Dallin before creating the full size angel for the Salt Lake Temple!
The image itself is most definitely not a photograph. Whether it was made from a small model, or the completed statue, or any other 3-D object, it’s a pencil/crayon drawing, not a photograph.
It appears to be a drawing based on this photograph by Charles Savage. It’s identified as “Angel Moroni, top of temple, Salt Lake” but I think Brian is correct that it’s a smaller scale sculpture. The square base and cloth both suggest that.
